The Mariners head into this series in possession of the second Wild Card spot, a game and a half ahead of the Angels. They’ve lost just three series all season and only one of those was on the road. Winning or splitting a series may seem like an arbitrary benchmark, but it’s a good indicator of resilience. It might feel better to string together a long winning streak but I think a steady stream of series wins is less volatile. The longest winning streak this team has put together this season was just four games long but they haven’t lost more than three in a row either.
